In 1930, Melanie Klein published an article presenting the case of Dick. Within the framework of the psychoanalytic technique adapted to the clinical treatment of autism, this article contributes elements to a question posed by many psychoanalysts: why did Klein’s interventions affect Dick? To that end, Klein’s first intervention is divided into two phases: a first naming phase, consented to by Dick; and a second interpretation phase, triggering detachment from the object, anxiety, and stereotypy. The proposal is to understand the emergence of anxiety in the relationship that the second-phase interpretation has with the first phase of naming.
